Pea proteins shown to stimulate peptide levels

Pea proteins, which can be used in energy bars, nutrition rich food, cereals, snacks and confectionery, are currently proving highly popular, US firm PGP International has suggested.

PGP claimed to use an advanced extrusion technology to produce a high-protein crisp free of hexane and allergens.

Health benefits

Based on recent studies, it said pea protein may yield health benefits that stimulate the body’s peptide production, abating the feelings of hunger.

“Our High Protein Crisp product is in a market where customers need to respond quickly to changing demands, and our strength comes from a fast turnaround, an innovative approach and faultless quality,” said Peter Hassing, vice-president of business unit extrusion at PGP’s headquarters in California.
